I am trying to get my samba setup running (after putting it on the back
burner for a few months with other issues).
I am running Samba 3.0.0 on a SuSE 7.2 install. I have a linux box
(clyde) and a Win2K box (Badmonkey) connected via a firewall/network. My
smb.conf file is shown here:
-- # Sambxa config file created using SWAT
# from 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1)
# Date: 2003/12/04 05:28:37
# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = Penguinix
netbios name = Clyde
interfaces = eth0, lo
hosts allow = 192.168.2
security = User
guest account = guest
password server = clyde
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
bind interfaces only = yes
debug level = 1
max log size = 1000
debug timestamp = no
encrypt passwords = yes
[test]
comment = Test share on %L
volume = TEST
path = /home/samba/test
writeable = Yes
[%U]
volume = %U
path = %H
hide dot files = Yes
When I execute testparm, everything checks out and gives the following:
Load smb config files from smb.conf
Processing section "[test]"
Processing section "[%U]"
Loaded services file OK.
Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE
I am NOW trying to set up my drive shares on my W2k machine. This is the
wife's primary machine, plus it has some other tools (Visio, Access,
etc) that I use from time to time. I want to be able to swap files as
needed between the two machines. The problem is, when I attenpt to
create map a network drive from the W2k machine using the 'Map Netowrk
Drive' utility and I add in the path under [test], I get an error that
the network path cannot be found. (\\clyde\home\samba\test).
Upon more invesitgation, I do a check to see if the smbd deamon is
running. It isn't. The nmbd deamon is running, butr if I do either a ps
-aux or a top and search for smbd, the deamon is not showing up. If,
however, I run the smbclient utility, I get the following data:
smbclient -U% -L localhost
Sharename Type Comment
--------- ---- -------
test Disk Test share on localhost
guest Disk
IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Samba 3.0.0)
ADMIN$ IPC IPC Service (Samba 3.0.0)
Server Comment
--------- -------
BADMONKEY Samba 3.0.0
Workgroup Master
--------- -------
PENGUINIX
There are problems with this from what I can see:
1 - The SERVER is expected to be 'CLYDE', not 'BADMONKEY'
2 - There is no name for the Master.
Can any of you be patient and help me solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.
